From the pen of Dave Barry:
If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings."

I suppose the dimension that makes me pause is how often, for humor or self-aggrandizement, we focus on the negative side of things. I have probably spent years in meetings in my life, and certainly some of it was a waste of time.
But I have also been in meetings where the clash of ideas and the coming together of people more interested in solutions than credit, produced amazing results. Meetings that were so much fun, and so productive, you really didn't want them to end.
Good and bad, lights and shadows - let's not always focus on the bad parts.

Very little makes me go Hmmmmm. Many things make me go "OH FOR FUX SAKE!!!". I think it's time the words Health, Safety, Political, Correctness, Human and Rights were replaced with Common, Sense and Shut, The, Phuq, Up.
